Mary Lee Bendolph: Gee’s Bend Quilts, and Beyond
Mary Lee Bendolph’s extraordinary talent first garnered national attention when her work was featured among that of other quiltmakers from Gee’s Bend, Alabama, in the 2002 blockbuster exhibition and book The Quilts of Gee’s Bend. Hailed by the New York Times as “some of the most miraculous works of modern art America has produced,” the abstract quilts from this small, isolated African American community prompted a rethinking of commonly accepted artistic categories.
The exhibition, Mary Lee Bendolph, Gee’s Bend Quilts and Beyond, and its accompanying full-color, scholarly catalogue, examine Bendolph’s inspiration and creative process, as well as her profound connection to the cultural practices and expressive traditions from which her work arises. The catalogue is fully illustrated with color plates of quilts and sculptures by Bendolph and other Gee’s Bend quilters and includes three essays and artists’ biographies.
